CRUSHED TO DEATH.


James II. Poe, of Chatham county,
was caught in the cogwheel of cotton
gin motive power and crushed to death.
His age was ffty-three, and he was u
valued citizen.
Another fatal accident occurred in
Pamlico county. Benoni Cartwright,

by falling tree.
Yesterday the cornerstone Of the
Episcopal College at Asheyille was laid,
Rev. Or. u. II. Buell., of Asheville,
conducting the ceremonies. Bishop
Lyman was present.
A letter from Asheville says that the
farmers declare that third of the en-
tire tobacco crop in that section was
hunt by the frosts. The damage in
other parts of the State was certainly
light-even lighter than was at first
supposed.
Asheville and all that section is in
wbirl of excitement over the Presl-
dents visit tomorrow. Great num-
bers OF people are already arriving
there. The procession will be mounted,
end the President will be quickly shown
through the place. He proposed TO
stop only quarter of an hour, but the
Asheville people are too sharp for that.
They will keep him for an hour or two
at least.

HARD TIMES,

There can ha no doubt that the pres
ent winter has been one OF unusual
want and severity in the city Of Mime
apoiis. "A city paper recently went to
the trouble TO examine into the colldi'
tion Of several families VINO were sup
posed to be in want, and the suffering
which it brought to light is truly pitt
able. The winter has been one OF the
coolest for years, and work very scarce.
Any amount of mem who are willing to
work are unable to secure enough to
keen the wolf from vle door. The Ass0"
ciat.l Charities have rendered excellent
service in looking after all the cases
that have come under their notice, but
vet there remains many more to be
looked after. Something should he
done to alleviate the sufferings Of these
poor people, and if the matter was
taken rightly i'll hand, we feel convinced
that the generosity which has ever
characterized the people Of the North
west and Minneapolis i'll particular

SWEET, BELFAST.

| Recent reports from Belfast would
seem to Indicate that the deplorable
scenes Of last summer are being re-
peated in that hot-bed OF Orangeism,
The presence of English soldiers does not
appear to have a qui: ting effect on the
mob. either but, on the contrary, has
tendency t., add fuel to the flames.
Ike late trouble originated through
soldiers belonging to the West Surrey
regiment insulting number OF Catho-
lie civilians last Saturday evening. The
latter naturally resented the Insult by
awaiting themselves Of the use Of TIL
most effective weapons Of warfare at
their disposal, viz, stones. The sol
diers get the worst Of it, and the melee
was followed by wholesale arrests, ever
one hundred persons being placed in
the lookup. Last Sunday evening
rioting was renewed, and many persons
received gun-snot wounds and 3 large
number OF others were more or less
bruised by being struck by stones.
This may seem a new phase OF the
treatment the Irish people receive at
the hands OF the English, but such is
not the case. Since time out OF mind
English soldiers stationed in Ireland
have behaved in a most brutal manner,
and it does not surprise us to learn that
the West Surrey regiment is no excep-
ticn to the general rule. An English sol.
dier is perhaps the most tdegraded speci-
men OF humanity. His instincts are bru-
tai he is a loathsome, leprous creature.
Itcould not very we'll be otherwise. The
regiments are recruited from the slulns
and cutters of the large English cities.
The depravity OF these recruits cauno E
be portrayed on paper, and what must
be the feelings Of the poor Irish people,
who, generally speaking, receive q
Christian training, when they are
forced to submit 10 the iieudish insults
of these fouI-mcuthed monsters, we
leave it to our readers to conjecture.
1,he presence OF native born English
soldiers in a community is " far greater
calamity than even the presence of hot
beaded Ulster Orangenen. It is sell
dom that the latter stoop SO low as to
outrage the feelings of those possessed
Of a high sense Of morality and virtue,
bat the English brute will stoop to any
thing. 10 illustrate this we might
n,eution that the steamship "l'oonah," !"
of the 2. and .. line, returning from
Alexandria not quite two years ago
ago had OH board thirty soldiers who
were consigned TO an English military
prison, sentenced to various terms Of
Imprisonment for perpetrating The most
revolving crimes. This is the class Of
men who are sent to ireland TO pre-
serve peace. and we hope that every
Irishman Will resent their insults even
at the peril Of his life.

rs COERCION As FAILURE z

Previous to the reassembling Of the
British Parliament the London Stan
dard made the following statement
whether authoritatively or not we are
unable to say:
:sThe Government will, early in the
coming session of Parliament, submit
measure to deal more efectualiy with
agrarian conspiracy. The bill will en-
power the Crown in certain cases to
summon special jurors, and. if neces-
sary, change the venue. 1t Will also
confer on magistrates powers TO deal
summarily in case Of persons arrested
for melting conspiracy, intimidation,
and boycotting, the punishment for
which offences shall not exceed three
months imprisonment. The bill,
which has already been approved ny
the Cabinet, will be made applicable to
the whole Kingdom"
This may have been inspired by the
Tory Government, and, if so, the same
Importance can be attached to the fol-
lowing statement Ill tue Saue pdFel
last Tuesday:
1.-The Cabinet IS engaged in framing
a bill to deal with the people Of the poor
districts in Ireland, like Glenbeigh,
county Kerry, in The light of Sir Mi
chael Hicks -Beach's idea OF migration. {"
1t looks as if the Tory Government
has some doubts as to the effectiveness
of coercion policy, and that the
Standard has been ordered to pave
the way for O. more conciliatory policy
Further comment at the present time
would be injudicious. but even SO blind

made to see the error Of their ways in

POOR, G.OS(1HE;N,

when he appointed Goschen Chancellor
OF the E1chequer, and induced him to
contest the seat made vacant in Liver

Ruler. When Goschen accepted the
Chancellcrship Of the Exchequer, he
announced with great flourish OF
trumpets that he felt constrained to Go
40 in order to counteract efforts he be-
1ievea were being made to bring about
the disintegration Of the British EN-
pire. How far he has succeeded in
averting this dire calamity can be in
ferred from the fact that he has not yet

placed upon the value of the services Of
the gentleman who is defeated. Mr..
Goschen is man of great ''nerve." He
has met with defeat twice during the
past twelve months. and from reports

acy, extracts from which we find in the
Connecticut Catholic. Mr.. Davis
pays a grateful tribute to the
Irish soldiers who fought on the
Confederate side during the late
;unpleasantness. Among the most
gallant officers in the Confed-
eyate service was Pat Cleburne, who
fell while valliant]y defending charge
at Franklin, Tenn. Ii may not be gem
orally known that John Mitchell, the
great Irish patriot. tad son iii the
Confederate army. who held the rank
of captain. Nevertheless, it is q fact.
Captain Mitchell was a. brave officer,
and fell while serving in Che defense Of
of Fort Sumter, Charleston harbor.
Captain Atkins, another frlshman, was
one whom Mr.. Davis particularly ad
mired for his bravery. He was man
about feet inches high, broad-shoui-
dered, gaunt-waisted and high-boned.
Mr.. Davis relates the following touch
ing incident regarding this Captain
Atkins:
"After d time he was informed Of the
death of his father, and the interests Of
his property and Of his family required
his return to Ireland. He called upon
me to announce the fact, adding that
he would not leaye were it not that the
surgeons had told him he would never
again be fit for field service. Before
taking his leave he said when he reached
home he would send his younger
brother to take his place. Notwith-
standing the difficulties which then ex-
listed On account Of the blockade, III
due time his brother arrived and re-
ported for duty. TIE elder Atkins
died Of his wounds, in Ireland"
Lieutenant Bowling commanded a

ment achieved what Mr.. Davis con-
siders to have been the most wonderful

had been framed with prudence, wis
dom and caution, Regarding the
t1lenbelgh evictions, Lord Randolph
said he thought there never was q case
found under microscopic examination
more favorable to Irish landlords on
the whole during the winter. The
landlords had done their duty in Il gen
eral way. He praised Sir Michael Hicks
Beach for the greatness Of the sacrifices
associated with the latter's acceptance
Of the chief secretarysllp OF Ireland
and wished him success in the work he
had undertaken. He said that he had
never seen much that he considered
alarming in the plan Of campaign. Ii
juries refused to do their duty Parl1a-
ment would grant additional powers
under which those pursuing the plan OF
campaign would, either voluntary, OF
under compulsion, abandon their
course. The best way to maintain the
union was by a sound administration
of the law. That neglected, down

towards maintaining parliamentary al,
